For all flesh is as grass,
and all the glory of man as the flower of grass.
The grass withereth, and the flower thereof falleth away:
but the Word of the Lord endureth for ever.
And this is the Word which by the Gospel is preached unto you.
Wherefore laying aside all malice, and all guile, and hypocrisies, and envies, and all evil speakings, as newborn babes,
desire the sincere milk of the Word,
that ye may grow thereby:
if so be ye have tasted that the Lord is gracious.
(I Peter 1:24-2:3)

The Word for the YEAR--
Romans 8:35-39 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? As it is written, For Thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter. Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him that loved us. For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
The Word for the month--
Psalm 25:8,9 Good and upright is the Lord: therefore will He teach sinners in the Way. The meek will He guide in Judgment: and the meek will He teach His Way.
Psalm 25
The Word for the day--
John 16:13,14 Howbeit when He, the Spirit of Truth, is come, He will guide you into all Truth: for He shall not speak of Himself; but whatsoever He shall hear, that shall He speak: and He will shew you things to come. He shall glorify Me: for He shall receive of Mine, and shall shew it unto you.
Compare Spiritual with Spiritual (1 Corinthians 2:12-14; John 5:39)--
"...He will shew you things to come. He shall glorify Me: for He shall receive of Mine, and shall shew it unto you."
Revelation 1:1,2 The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave unto Him, to shew unto His servants things which must shortly come to pass; and He sent and signified it by His Angel unto His servant John: who bare record of the Word of God, and of the Testimony of Jesus Christ, and of all things that He saw.
Revelation 2:29 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.
Again, the Word for the day--John 16:13,14 Howbeit when He, the Spirit of Truth, is come, He will guide you into all Truth: for He shall not speak of Himself; but whatsoever He shall hear, that shall He speak: and He will shew you things to come. He shall glorify Me: for He shall receive of Mine, and shall shew it unto you.
Hear this morning's devotional [Prepared by Jonathan Bagster (1813-1872)]
09.09 Morning:
Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked: I counsel Thee to buy of me Gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich; . . . As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent.
Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after Righteousness: for they shall be filled.―When the poor and needy seek water, and there is none, and their tongue faileth for thirst, I the Lord will hear them, I the God of Israel will not forsake them.―I am the Lord thy God, . . . open thy mouth wide, and I will fill it.
Wherefore do ye spend money for that which is not Bread? and your labour for that which satisfieth not? hearken diligently unto Me, and eat ye that which is good, and let your soul delight itself in fatness.―I am the Bread of Life: he that cometh to Me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on Me shall never thirst.
Lu 1:53 Re 3:17-19 Mt 5:6 Isa 41:17 Ps 81:10 Isa 55:2 Joh 6:35
